What the hell happened to me in 2006? Well, I took some time to think about it, and here is what I came up with:
- January:
Still lived in Las Vegas, still worked full-time, and still attended school at night. However, I got to have some fun toward the end of the month because my great friend for 17 years from New York came to visit & stayed with me for about 2 weeks. I took him around the Strip checking out all the places; it was a good time. Oh, one night we went Tao at the Venetian, and I happend to slap his face in the middle of the dancefloor because I thought he was falling asleep. Gee...I was mean. - February:
Finished up the last class; I was so happy - no more school every single night & no more exams every freaking Friday. The sad thing was I had to quit my full-time job because I had to complete a 160-hour of externship in order to graduate. Did I mention that the externship was non-paid? - March:
Started my externship. Unfortunately, I was placed in a very unorganized place, and I was so glad to be out of there at the end of the month. Yes, I finally graduated!! - April:
Then, it was time to say "Good bye, Sin City, and Hello, Indiana!" I packed all my stuff, and moved to Indiana. The first month was pretty hard trying to adjust myself to the mid-west. I also tried to look for a job, and at the same time, got hooked on MySpace, which I was glad to reunite with a lot of my good friends, and better yet, started to make new ones! - May:
Still had no job, and still was hooked on MySpace. Though I felt very depressed at the time (due to the lack of $$$$), but as it turned out, I got a job in downtown Indianapolis at the end of the month. Woo-hoo! Oh, also went up to see the tulips in Holland, Michigan with my lovely sister. Oh, boy, we took lots of pictures! - June:
Started to get paid, at last!! I was pretty happy, but still got lost driving to new places...d'oh! - July:
Started taking ballroom dancing. Boy, it was fun, though the cost was a bit too pricey...still it was fun & I learned so many styles of dance. - August:
Still attended dance classes. Went to the Indiana State Fair, took a bunch of pictures, and saw the biggest pig and her babies; that was cute. - September:
What the hell happened then? Probably nothing that exciting since I couldn't remember anything. Oh, I finally got an Indiana License Plate. (I cheated, and went to look at my old blog postings ...yeah, sue me!!) - October:
A very bad thing happened. Well, it was a long story, but in a nutshell: I went out to a bar with a friend from work, had some drinks & food, thought I was okay to drive, got in the car, and 5 mins later threw up while driving the car! And to make it even worse, I missed my exit from the freeway, got lost in the middle of nowhere, but managed to find my way home, ...and almost got arrested for a DUI while parked in the garage at home. Go figure. - November:
The weather started to get cold as I started to wear thicker layers of clothes. Went to IKEA in Chicago, Illinois, and stopped by a Japanese market on the way back to Indiana. Boy, the traffic was really bad that day. - December:
The weather got colder, as my old car started to have problems. I ended up spending > 600 bucks for the repairs...yikes! On top of that, I had to drive in the snow for the first time in my life. I was VERY nervous.
Well, guess that was another year that just passed me by. So, what's for next year? Well, from what I know for sure: I'll be working myself to death in January and February due to the special bonus program at work. After that, I'm planning to go back to school in summer since I have to wait for a year to become an Indiana resident in order to pay the tuition at a cheaper cost. Other than that, dunno...hopefully, I will get to take a vacation somewhere? Or, maybe even go back to visit home in Thailand? Guess, we'll see.
Happy New Year and Cheers!
